Simeone: Everything seems better when Atletico win

Diego Simeone believes Atletico Madrid's 2-0 win against Roma on Wednesday has improved the mood throughout the club.

Atleti remain unbeaten in LaLiga, but they trail leaders Barcelona by 10 points and their Champions League campaign looked to have been derailed by consecutive draws against Qarabag.

However, Simeone's men saw off Roma at the Wanda Metropolitano to move within two points of their opponents in Group C and the head coach feels the result has lifted the club.

"The goals make you see the improvement," Simeone told a news conference ahead of Saturday's league trip to Levante. "If, the other day, we had not scored two goals, all these things would be meaningless.

"Everything seems much better when you win. In football, the only things that count are the goals and we will try to improve in that aspect.
